Size of Gold = 40 lbs

Number of people = 6

Required

1. Proportion of each individual

2. Subtract from each proportion

1. Proportion of each individual

To calculate how many each individuals get (in other words, the proportion of each individual), we simply divide the total size of gold by the number of people

Mathematically,

Reduce fraction to lowest term by dividing numerator and denominator by 2

Convert to mixed fraction

Hence each individual gets of gold

2. Subtract from each proportion

This is represented by

Convert both fractions to improper fractions

=

Find LCM of both fractions
